Owner/Operators manual.

 Know the controls and how to stop the engine

quickly in an emergency.

 Allow only responsible adults, who are familiar with

the instructions in this manual, to operate the ma-

chine.

 Clear the area to be mowed of loose objects such as

sticks, stones, bones, wire, toys, debris, etc., which

could be picked up and thrown by the blades.

 DO NOT mow whilst people, especially children, or

pets are in the mowing area.

 DO NOT mow either direction on slopes beyond 15

degrees (1 in 3.75)

 Exercise extreme caution on slopes.

 Reduce speed on slopes and in sharp turns to pre-

vent overturning or loss of control.

 Start or stop slowly when on slopes.

 Mow up and down slopes, not across the slope.

 Stay alert for holes or bumps in the terrain and other

hidden hazards.

 Watch out for traffic when crossing or operating the

mower near roadways.

 Stop the blades rotating before crossing surfaces

other than grass.

 When using attachments, never direct discharge of

material toward bystanders nor allow anyone near

the machine while it is in operation.

 Before leaving the operators position-

a] Disengage all clutches and secure cutting units;

b] Return drive pedal to neutral position and set the

parking brake;

c] Stop the engine and remove the key.

 Disengage drive to attachments and stop engine-

a] Before refueling.

b] Before checking, cleaning or working on the

mower;

c] After striking a foreign object (check the mower

for damage and make repairs before restarting and

operating the equipment);

d] If machine starts to vibrate abnormally (check

immediately).

 Disengage drive to attachments when transporting or

not in use.

 A mower operator should be in good physical and

mental health and not under the influence of alcohol

or any drug which might impair vision, co-ordination

or judgment.

 Never mow while barefoot or wearing open sandals

or thongs. Wear long trousers and heavy shoes.

 It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when

operating a mower.

 Mow only in daylight or good artificial light.

 Before using, always visually inspect to see that

blades, bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and

bolts in sets to preserve balance.

 Check all nuts, bolts, and screws often; always be

sure the mower is in safe operating condition.

 Keep safety devices (guards and switches) in place

and in working order.

 Never use the mower unless the guards provided by

the manufacturer, are in position.

 Ensure any replacement parts used comply with the

original manufacture’s recommendations and specifi-

cations.

 Replace worn or faulty silencers.

 Keep machine free of grass, leaves or other debris,

excessive oil, grease, or spilt fuel. These can be a

fire hazard.

 Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke while fueling

engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add

petrol while the engine is running or the engine is

hot. Remove fuel cap slowly to relieve any tank pres-

sure. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the

engine but move machine away from the area of the

spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until

fuel vapors have dissipated.

 Check for fuel leaks while refueling, before and while

using the mower. If a fuel leak is found, do not start

or run the engine until the fuel leak is fixed and

spilled fuel is wiped away.

 Do not operate engine in a confined space where

exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

 Always mount the mower from the left or the oppo-

site side to the discharge chute.

 Start the engine carefully with the cutting means dis-

engaged.

 Do not over-speed the engine or alter governor set-

tings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens

mower life.

 Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower,

even for a moment.

 Store the mower in a well-ventilated room away from

naked flames such as may be found in hot water

heaters.

 Do not lend or sell the mower, without the owners/

operators Manual.

8900 PRE-DELIVERY INSTRUCTIONS

INTRODUCTION:

The purpose of this procedure is to ensure the dealer/

distributor has made the necessary installations, adjustments

and checks, before the machine is operational. This proce-

dure begins upon receiving the crated mower and is finalised

once the mower has been either sold or leaves the dealer/

distributors premises. This is the minimum amount of work

required, however it should not be limited to only the areas

detailed in this procedure.

RESPONSIBILITY:

It is the responsibility of the dealer/distributors to ensure that

before a machine is delivered to a customer, it is in perfect

operational condition.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

Undo the battery cover plate and slide the battery out. Re-

move the tape covering the fill holes in the battery. Fill each

cell of the battery until the acid levels are in between the up-

per and lower levels marked on the battery. (use 1.240-1.260

specific gravity) Using a 12V, 4 or 8amp battery charger,

charge the battery for a period of 30 minutes.

After the charge proceed to do the following:

Check acid levels in all battery cells (top up if necessary).

Install battery caps. Allow battery to stand for 30 min-

utes before usage.

Tighten the red battery lead to the positive terminal first and

then the black battery lead to the negative terminal.

Place battery in position, make sure battery leads are well

clear of the steering universal, and fit battery cover.

TYRE PRESSURE

maximum pressure allowed is 140 kpa (20 P.S.I.).

ENGINE OIL

Before operation ensure that engine oil level is to the full mark

on the dipstick. (Check engine owners manual if oil needs to

be added).

FUEL TAP

Ensure the fuel tap at the bottom of the LH side of fuel tank is

turned to the on position before attempting to start engine.

(Use unleaded fuel only).

Turn off fuel tap after use.

STEERING WHEEL

Tighten the steering wheel using the 3/8” Full nut and 3/8”ID.

cutter and lift weight from seat. Engine should cut out.

29 June 2016 Page 7

IMPORTANT

RECOMMENDED FUEL

Unleaded fuel is recommended by all manufacturers of engines

fitted to Cox products.

SAFETY MICRO SWITCHES

Before operating machine, ensure that all micro-safety switches

are operating correctly. Do not operate machine with faulty,

missing or damaged safety micro-switches.

STARTING MACHINE

When starting machine; Ensure parking brake is set. Ensure

that cutter is disengaged, otherwise electric starter motor will

not engage. If engine is cold move throttle to cold start posi-

tion and return to desired throttle setting when engine starts.

Do not attempt to operate engine with throttle lever in cold

start (choke) position. (Note electric start engines fitted with

recoil can be manually started with cutter disengaged and igni-

tion on).

BLADE WARNING

Do not use mowing attachment with broken or bent blades,

damaged or worn bolts and nuts or damaged cutter disc, other-

wise damage and premature wear will result from vibration.

Replace blades, bolts and nuts only in pairs to maintain correct

balance. Recommended blade nut torque is 36-40Nm. Do not

over tighten.

Keep both feet and hands clear at all

times of the mowing attachment

while attempting to start or operate

the machine.

WARNING

DO NOT OPERATE WITHOUT MOWING ATTACHMENT DEFLEC-

TOR FITTED & DOWN.

Safety footwear is recommended when operating machine.

Mount and dismount only from left hand side of machine.

Reference to left or right hand side of machine is determined by

sitting in the operating position on the machine.

Ensure machine has parking brake engaged when attempting to

start engine.

Never allow engine revs to exceed more than 3600 RPM.

TO OPERATE

BEFORE STARTING/SWITCHING OFF:

See Engine Maintenance/Instruction Sheet. When stopping en-

gine disengage cutter return throttle to slow position and

switch off

DISENGAGING MOWING ATTACHMENT:

The Disengaging lever is situated on the right hand side by the

steering column. Before starting, disengage mowing attach-

ment by pulling lever fully to the operator. For safety it is ad-

visable at all times, other than when mowing, that the mowing

attachment be kept in the disengaged position.

TO DRIVE FORWARD/REVERSE:

Power is regulated by the throttle, set throttle control to desired

engine power. Press down on the forward section of the drive

pedal for forward movement, on the rear of the drive pedal for

reverse. The amount of movement controls the ground speed,

less movement from the neutral position results in less ground

speed, use this feature especially in heavier conditions.

MANOEUVRING:

The forward and reverse operation makes the machine very

manoeuvrable and the sharpest turns can be negotiated easily

and quickly, however;

Owing to the hydrostatic transmission, when manoeuvring the

machine you must allow the machine to come to a complete

stop before moving off in the opposite direction. This means

that if you are travelling forward and need to reverse out of an

area etc, you must return the pedal to the neutral position

come to a complete stop and then select reverse drive and Vice

Versa for travelling from reverse to forward.

TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE RUNNING):

The drive pedal must be used to slow/brake the machine. If

travelling forward ease the pedal back into the neutral position

and the machine will slow and stop. When travelling in reverse

ease the pedal forward into the neutral position. Should a

failure occur during operation use the brake pedal situated on

the right hand side above and central of the drive pedal.

TO BRAKE (WITH ENGINE STOPPED):

Use the brake pedal only.

PARKING AND TRANSPORTATION BRAKE:

TO ACTIVATE: Fully depress the brake pedal situated at the

right hand of the mower. Depress park brake lock protruding

out of the right hand side of the console and release brake

pedal to engage the park brake function. Depress pedal and

the mechanism will release.

Do not engage parking brake unless the machine has com-

pletely stopped.

Do not attempt to drive with park brake engaged.

CUTTING HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT:

The height adjustment lever is located on the left hand side of

the machine and may be altered to suit varying conditions.

NOTE: When mowing slopes, keep drive pedal in forward or

reverse, depending on direction of travel. The low gearing will

prevent it from picking up excessive speed. If very steep it may

be necessary to throttle back slightly and /or, decrease pedal

travel.

8900 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

29 June 2016 Page 8

It is the owner’s responsibility to ensure that all-periodical checks,

necessary adjustments and services are carried out.

STOP ENGINE - Never attempt any maintenance with the engine

running, remove spark plug lead and ensure the blades have

stopped rotating. Before servicing, disconnect spark plug wire and ground

it, disconnect battery at negative terminal, to prevent accidental starting.

1. OIL CHANGING & FILTER REPLACEMENT (ENGINE): See Engine

Maintenance/Instructions Sheet and carry out as per Engine Manufacturers

Recommendations.

SERVICING ENGINE AIR CLEANER FOAM PRE-CLEANER— See

engine owners manual for correct method to check and service engine air

cleaner foam pre-cleaner.

2. LUBRICATION OF MACHINE: Lubrication of machine must be carried

out every 25 hours of operation or once a month, whichever falls first. More

frequently when operated under adverse conditions.

A. OILING: A few drops of oil should be placed at the following

points: Steering linkages and pivot points, disengaging linkages and

height adjustment mechanism.

B CHAIN: Use only chain lube for lubrication of the steering chain.

3. TO CHECK BLADES: Stop engine. Remove spark plug lead. Side

Discharge Only, lift deflector and height adjustment control to highest

position. If necessary simply remove the blade bolt and nut using a

suitable spanner and replace worn parts.

4. ENGINE TO TRANSMISSION VEE BELT ADJUSTMENT: Loosen

the four engine mounting bolts. Move engine forward and adjust belt

firmly. Do not over tension. While maintaining tension on the

engine re-tighten bolts. Check belt tension at machine service period

(25hrs) or more frequently under heavy mowing conditions.

5. TRANSMISSION TO CUTTER VEE BELT ADJUSTMENT: Tension

is automatically adjusted by the belt tensioning springs. However, as

the belt stretches it will be necessary to lower the rear of the cutter

housing by loosening the rear lifting link nut, and visa versa when a

new belt is fitted.

6. CUTTER BRAKE ASSEMBLY ADJUSTMENT: With disengagement

handle in engaged position and mowing attachment in low cut, normal

clearance between cutter head pulley and cutter head brake pad is

approximately 3mm (1/8"). To adjust clearance, remove 'R' pin from

brake pull rod, adjust to give required clearance, replace brake pull

rod and 'R' pin. Check operation after adjustment.

7. DISENGAGING ADJUSTMENT: With the engine switched off,

engage the mowing attachment, then fully lower. Place a straight

edge vertically against the front of the front axle beam and in line with

the disengagement lever. Measure the distance between the straight

edge and the 8mm dia pin fitted with the small ‘R’ pin for the threaded

adjuster. Disengage mowing attachment and using the same method,

check the new distance. The difference should be 20 – 22mm. Engage

mowing attachment, remove ‘R’ pin and adjust threaded adjuster

accordingly. Install ‘R’ pin and re-check measurement. Due to normal

wear in transmission to cutter vee belt, the disengagement lever will

move lower and touch the foot rest. When this occurs the amount of

travel will need to be re-adjusted. If a new vee belt is installed the

above settings will apply.

Start engine and raise cutter to full height stop, cutter belt should not

engage. If this occurs switch off engine, engage cutter then screw

adjuster out 1 – 2 turns then retest.

8. TO ADJUST STEERING CHAIN: Adjust chain by loosening the four

bolts which hold the steering idler shaft mounting brackets (AM255) in

position, slide forward to tension chain then retighten bolts.

9. TO REMOVE MOWING ATTACHMENT: Fully lower mowing

attachment and engage, remove weight compensating spring,

remove 'R' pin from rear lifting link and disconnect, remove ‘R’

pin from cutter brake adjusting rod and disconnect, disengage

mowing attachment, remove belt, remove front pivot pin, Turn

steering wheel to the left to slide out mowing attachment. To

refit, reverse the above.

10. TYRE PRESSURE: 140 Kpa (20.P.S.I.) approximately front and

rear. Uneven pressure can give an uneven finish when mowing and

may cause damage to tyres and/or tubes.

11. BATTERY MAINTENANCE: Maintain electrolyte fluid level just

above plates by topping regularly with distilled water. When not in

use, a battery discharges by as much as 1% a day, more when the

climate is warm. To make up for this loss, a boosting charge should

be given once a month. Disconnect battery terminals to charge, then

allow to stand minimum 1/2hr before re-connecting (re-check

electrolyte level). If a battery is not used for a period of more than

three (3) months, the terminals should be disconnected and trickle

charged at two (2) amps for two (2) hours once every three (3)

months or before use.

12. SEAT ADJUSTMENT: Loosen four seat mounting bolts and slide

seat into desired position in slots and re-tighten bolts.

13. CLEANING AND POLISHING POLYETHYLENE BONNET AND

REAR MUDGUARD: To keep scratches on bonnet and mudguard to

minimum, do not rub or brush off with bare hands, use a soft cloth or

a light flow of compressed air. For dirt, wash with a steady stream of

water only (no detergent), then blow off excess water with air. To

polish remove excess dust or dirt. When surface is dry, spray on an

automotive type plastic preservative and leave on for 30 to 60

seconds. Using a dry soft cloth (i.e. cheesecloth) wipe off to bring up

lustre.

GENUINE SPARE PARTS: Always use Genuine Cox Factory Made

Spare Parts. Use of non-genuine COX spares will void your warranty.

SAFETY FIRST: The use of any mechanical appliance can cause

injury if incorrect procedures are used. Please ensure that all family

members of intended operators read this manual thoroughly.
